Thanks for the link to the great article by D.A. Lovell at The Root about the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag. It’s a really thoughtful piece that focuses on the underlying concerns around hashtag activism, especially as it relates to issues occurring in other countries, and offers some concrete ways to be a more conscientious global citizen. Cheers!
